A Happy Little Sad Card



This card doesn't look like a happy card, but it really is - I promise. I did this one for the newest Squigglefly challenge - March to the Beat of Your Own Drum (SFC 1213)- an anything goes challenge. Last week there was no winner, so this week the winner gets two prizes - how fun is that!

So back to my card looking kind of sad but falling into the happy category - the tag pulls out and has a happy faced balloon which I covered in Stickles. I typed the sentiment and it says: "In the words of Scarlet, tomorrow is another day." Inside I am including a new balloon. I can't wait to send this cute card to someone. The image is a new one from Cheryl Alger that will be available in the store next week called "Who Burst Your Balloon." It comes with several images and sentiments.

Hope your balloons are all still full and flying high - if not, I hope you have some spares! Hugz!

    Very cute 'sad but happy card'. Yes, I am looking like that sometimes and glad tomorrow is another day.
    Nancy, I hope your day is bright and cheerful. Hugs~~~

    What a cute card and I'm sure both the inside and the outside will make someone smile. Love the big polka dots on your background paper.

    How cute. I used to hate that as a kid when the balloon would pop and you couldn't play with it anymore....lol I love the tag idea-that is really cute and this image is so sweet. Hope you have a great week.
    Bear Hugs,

Language Plays, Billiard Balls, and Some "Interesting" Wine

 I always look forward to the new **Art*Journal*Journey* Theme each month. The May theme was chosen by Elle and she chose Language as the theme. So many cool things you can do with that theme.  This weekend I chose to do the Language(s) of God in my Journaling Bible.  When I started, I was going to do Fasting as a way of speaking to God but after listening to a Sermon on Fasting, I realized that was more complicated and I would have to study it more first. So I switched gears midstream and just did some of ways that God speaks to us and vice versa.  There are many more, but I put the ones I could think of quickly here.   The papers are from an old hymnal and Close to My Heart (CTMH).  The gnome is CTMH as well.  Now I have played with all the gnomes in the set,and I totally love them. While looking for the hymnal paper, I ran across an old song book that I was saving.  It was damaged so I knew it would have to be recycled into something....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Stamps, Books, Found Relatives, and More Food

 Don't you love getting new stuff?  This is my fun new stuff from  Red Lead Paperworks .   I ordered the fun vintage looking deer stamp and the three Christmas greetings - all were on sale a few weeks ago.  I love getting their packages because they always send some extra little goodies like collage sheets and old tickets plus even their packaging is cute and reusable.  The sheet with the leaves and acorns on the bottom is the other side of the invoice so you can reuse it as well.  I can't wait to play with these fun goodies.  Here is a look at my current reading pile.  I checked Basil's War by Stephen Hunter from the library, my daughter lent me The Paper Palace, and I bought The Host, Going Back to Petrey, and The Lady in Blue from the Thrift Store. I am reading Basil's War and The Lady in Blue at the same time - something I really shouldn't do especially since both books are the kind that switch between stories every chapter.  Th...
